Ok, x1 wont start for like the 2238498238th time. got on the bike, hit the starter button, and it cranked and cranked and cranked. the check engine light was blinking while cranking. no start. then i pulled the codes, the check engine light was blinking faster than i could even count. it wasnt the normal code blinks. it was a rapid 10-12 blinks in a row. anyone know whats going on with it???

btw, battery is dead too. after only 3 or 4 attempts to start it.

I'm ignorant of the trouble codes. Hopefully someone else can answer that issue.

However, it sounds like the battery may be failing, which might also account for the trouble starting?

Low voltage from battery going will allow starter to turn over but will not power FI.
